Corrupt JPEG Checker

Corrupt JPEG Checker scans your folders for damaged JPEG files and tells you what's wrong — before a single memory is lost. Whether you're a photographer managing thousands of shots, an archivist preserving irreplaceable images, or just someone who wants peace of mind, this app has you covered.

Detecting two distinct types of corruption:
• Visual Corruption — the image data itself is damaged, causing glitches, colour shifts, grey bars, or missing sections when the photo is displayed.
• Meta Corruption — the file's header or structure is malformed, which can cause software to misread, skip, or fail to open the image entirely.

Each file is clearly flagged so you know at a glance which photos need attention, and which are safe.

KEY FEATURES
• One-Click Scanning — browse to a folder, hit Scan, and let the app do the rest.

• Batch Move — quarantine corrupt files to a separate folder for review.
• Batch Delete — remove damaged images you no longer need in a single action.

• Full File Paths — always know exactly where each file lives on disk.
